Play Date Cafe Challenge #25

This weeks challenge is to use Black and White and a splash of Orange. I was inspired by Nancy's card and also the lovely Suzz - who is host designer for the week. I thought about what I could do and straight away I thought of my darkroom door stamps and one in particular - so here's what I came up with

I stamped the Daisies ( darkroom door - Viva La Flora Vol 2) onto the white card in Versafine Black and then water coloured the petals with Orange aqua crayons. I doodled round the edge of the image and then put it onto the black card matted onto the white base. Added the sentiment ( Inkadinkadoo) embossed in detail white EP. I added the tiniest bit of grey on the steams of the flowers to tone down the stark whiteness. I am quite pleased how this turned out. It was a super quick card - 20 mins from the time I thought of what to do till I was outside photographing it. The longest bit was waiting for the water colouring to dry so I could mat it!!!!
